It bored me a bit. Then I rather watch the real thing and have excellent HBO series instead.

Yeah, we don't have HBO. Too cheap to pay for it. Plus most of their programming isn't aimed at me-- I am much too old and uncool to enjoy most of the stuff they offer. *shrug*

I watched a number of episodes over the seasons, and each time I am infuriated by the fact that they call the characters Holmes and Watson. If they'd use different names--seeing as the characters don't match, in any way, shape, or form, my image of the original characters--I'd probably have liked the series, but as it is it just drives me nuts.
